Can't even cook pasta, there's no hope.

Ola,

Word of the day: Abjure - give up, renounce, relinquish...

This won't be funny to anyone but me, like one of those had to be there moments when you're practically peeing yourself laughing trying to tell a funny story and the listeners could not be more straight faced whilst thinking you're a tit. I hope you're all thinking about one of those moments now, which in turn makes you giggle. Squidge (sister) and I attempted to make dinner for ourselves and the rentals. It was Squidge's idea to boil a whole bag of pasta in the world's smallest pan. This overflowed, evidently, but instead of getting a bigger pan we thought that getting another small one and splitting the load would help. But no, there literally was just too much pasta. By the time it actually clicked that we owned a massive pasta pot, the pasta that had previously overflowed somehow caught alight. Who knew pasta could catch fire?? There's a running joke about Squidge that if you can't smell burning in our house, she must be making salad. So we frantically tried to fan the smoke out of the window before the burning smell wafted through the house annoyed the rents. We decided not to abjure and persist onwards, even though the other ingredients for our meal were now also a little charred. Trees-Are-Green made one of those, mmmmmm lovely faces, when really we knew it tasted like arse. Ach well, should maybe marry a chef.

Later on I dyed Squidge's hair white white blonde. I used to have hair that colour, it was beautiful. Now, in the interest of my hair not falling out, I'm growing it out. Don't worry, I don't have dark roots and white blonde hair (hate that). I dyed it all brown, and although that has now faded it kind of sort of looks alright. I say alright, I mean borderline average. I miss the blonde, but as I've been dying my hair since the age of thirteen, I think it needs a break. She just came out the shower. It's not white blonde. Rather yellow. My bad. Technically not my fault however, I was merely the applicator. :-S

Oh, first day at the new school went really well. Lovely people, great music department. I think I shall enjoy it :) And the drive there is alongside the most stunning views. Nearly stopped at the side of the road to have a proper look, but was scared of people thinking I was a weirdo. Which, although true, I did not wish to encourage. Maybe I will tomorrow. Cornwall really is beautiful. ♥

Currently watching Julie and Julia. Fabulous movie. Also, alongside The Cake Chomper, gave me the idea to start blogging. Meryl Streep is one of my all time flavourite actresses. Especially amazing in this. I recommend giving it a watch.

So, at the age of 22, I cannot cook pasta. But I laughed a whole lot through the process of discovering that fact. Probably shouldn't dye people's hair either. Remember that, especially if I either a) offer to cook for you, or b) offer to dye your hair.

Adiós,
